Volunteer!

We have events all thoughout the year where we can really use your help! Please contact us and make plans to come be apart of the work we do with the horses.

OPEN HOUSE: Every July, 2nd Saturday (unless date is changed, watch our press clippings page for details), is our annual Open House where we invite the community to come see our facility, do draft and pony rides, have great speakers, and so much more!

Horses staying at Crosswinds have extensive recurring costs. For those with just basic maintenance needs, these include feed (all Crosswinds horses receive either Senior, Strategy or sweet feed, depending upon their special needs); hay; mineral supplement; (treats!); hoof trims; wormer; annual vaccinations. This page talks more about how sponsorships work and how to become a sponsor.

Memberships

Crosswinds is a membership-based Incorporation, so the support of regular annual members is a key piece of Crosswind's financial support. Annual memberships are available for $25/person, or $35/family. This page explains how to become a member.

Donations

As a 501c3 federally-recognized charity, we are REQUIRED to be funded primarily by donations from the general public. Adoption fees help cover some of our expenses, but most are covered by our generous donors. This page explains how you can help.

There are so many items that can help us to help the horses. Please visit this page to learn more!

  Training & Farrier Care  

CWER offers both professional horse training and professional hoof care (farrier/blacksmith), and all fees paid are donations and may be tax deductible!
